Nucleic acids presenting polymer nanomaterials as vaccine adjuvants

Maartje Martina Cornelia Bastings, Kaltrina Paloja, Alice Comberlato

Most vaccines developed today include only the antigens that best stimulate the immune system rather than the entire virus or microbe, which makes vaccine production and use safer and easier, though they lack potency to induce acceptable immunity and long- ...

Fixed DNA Molecule Arrays for High-Throughput Single DNA-Protein Interaction Studies

Vytautas Navikas

The DNA Curtains assay is a recently developed experimental platform for protein-DNA interaction studies at the single-molecule level that is based on anchoring and alignment of DNA fragments. The DNA Curtains so far have been made by using chromium barrie ...

Evolution of critical buckling conditions in imperfect bilayer shells through residual swelling

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Matteo Pezzulla, Dong Yan, Anna Lee

We propose and investigate a minimal mechanism that makes use of differential swelling to modify the critical buckling conditions of elastic bilayer shells, as measured by the knockdown factor. Our shells contain an engineered defect at the north pole and ...

Biodegradable Frequency‐Selective Magnesium Radio‐Frequency Microresonators for Transient Biomedical Implants

Jürgen Brugger, Giovanni Boero, Matthieu Jean Michel Rüegg, Remo Blum

Bioresorbable implantable medical devices show a great potential for applications requiring medical care over well‐defined periods of time. Once their function is fulfilled, such implants naturally degrade and resorb in the body, which eliminates adverse l ...

Fabrication and practical applications of molybdenum disulfide nanopores

Aleksandra Radenovic, Martina Lihter, Mukeshchand Thakur, Michael Graf, Ke Liu, Jiandong Feng

Among the different developed solid-state nanopores, nanopores constructed in a monolayer of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) stand out as powerful devices for single-molecule analysis or osmotic power generation. Because the ionic current through a nanopore is ...

Interference of engineered nanomaterials in flow cytometry: A case study

Aurélie Walter

Nanotechnology is regarded as the enabling technology of the 21st century. However, only a relatively small number of nano-enabled medical and healthcare products finally made their way to the market. There are several reasons why such innovative approache ...

Electrostatically gated nanofluidic membranes: Technological developments and use of electrochemically polarizable materials

Stefano Silvio Giovanni Varricchio

Solid-state nanoporous membranes able to control ionic flows at the molecular level could have important applications in fields of research such as water filtration, nanomedicine, energy production, drug delivery, and bio-chemical analysis. The ability to ...

Investigation of nanoparticle-protein interactions with novel methods

Ahmet Bekdemir

Advancements in novel nanomaterials present promising avenue for therapeutics and diagnosis in nanomedicine. Importantly, in these applications, nanoparticles (NPs) are almost instantly coated with a complex layer of proteins in biological environment, ter ...

Highly sensitive enzymatic MWCNTs-based biosensors for detection of abiraterone in human serum

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Nima Aliakbarinodehi

A highly-sensitive enzymatic biosensor is successfully experimented for detection of abiraterone in human serum with significance in personalized medicine and point-of-care chemotherapy of patients with metastatic prostate cancer. The dynamic range and lim ...

Label-free detection of hypoxia-induced extracellular vesicle secretion from MCF-7 cells

Philippe Renaud, Sandro Carrara, Tugba Kilic, Ana Teresa De Sousa Valinhas

Nanoscale extracellular vesicles (EVs) including exosomes (50–150 nm membrane particles) have emerged as promising cancer biomarkers due to the carried genetic information about the parental cells. However the sensitive detection of these vesicles remains ...
